Sarah Jessica Parker is a down to earth celebrity with a great sense of style.
Her fashion sense has developed a lot in her Sex And The City years & she became really stylish & a fashion icon.
Carrie Bradshaw's definitely one of my favorite TV characters...plus her wardrobe is pretty enviable.. to say the least Lol

Skin hands is thinner & gets dry easily.
Therefore it needs special care, especially with this cold & windy weather.
Here are some tips for beautiful hands:
-Moisturize several times a day & try to apply cream on your hands before going to bed.
-Don't forget to protect your hands when you're out & about in the sun.
-Wear rubber gloves when you're doing the dishes, other cleaning works or working in the garden.
-Exfoliate your hands once a week with a gentle face exfoliator.

Mme de Pompadour
"After us, the deluge." That's what Mme de Pompadour, the official mistress of the French King Louis the XV said, thus announcing without even realizing it the French revolution that would occur 25 years after her death.
I'm very interested in history & would like to focus on Mme de Pompadour, who exerted a powerful influence on French arts & letters, and who built the beautiful little "chateau Bellevue" in my hometown Meudon (near Paris), which at the time was described as one of the perfect examples of French domestic architecture.
Mme de Pompadour was born Jeanne Poisson & became popular in Parisian circles when she founded her own salon, which was attended by philosophers & writers such as Voltaire. The king heard of her & made her his official mistress, giving her an apartment in the palace of Versailles below his.
Quickly she learnt to master the French court etiquette & had a powerful influence on Louis the XV, both on a political & artistic front.
She supported the development of "The encyclopedia" written by Diderot, created & facilitated the arise of the manufacture of porcelain of Sevres and tried to improve public facilities by commissioning a topographical survey of the country & its royal buildings.
Mme de Pompadour sponsored many artists, architects & furniture craftsmen and is known today as a patron of the arts.
